Episode 29 Acceptance isn't giving up

from The Phoenix Frequencies

Acceptance is not about giving up; it is about releasing resistance to what you cannot change, so you can move forward with clarity and purpose. While giving up is a cessation of effort, acceptance is a proactive choice to acknowledge reality as it is, which creates a foundation for progress and allows you to respond to challenges with strength and grace. Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity prayer says it beautifully.God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,and the wisdom to know the difference.The perception of duality between acceptance and giving up is what we tell ourselves when we are blinded by the 'shouldy, wouldy, couldy' in our desired outcomes. What if the real power lies in embracing a perspective that aligns with who we are today? What if you start collaborating with the creator in you?  Not from what your mind told you by experience in the past, but by creating your future from the now, so you can rise.We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others.  Perfect doesn't exist; curiosity can be the stepping stone to broaden your perspectives. Courage to move on from the past,Trust to be with the present,Rise to create a new future. If you want to be interviewed as a phoenix, write to  heartbraincoachnienke @gmail.com
